Thanks for the thoughtful comment! 100% agreed.

I feel like I should better clarify some thoughts here when it comes to making to mistakes so that this article is not misunderstood.

Yes, everybody makes mistakes. Yes, it's ok to make mistakes. Yes, even "professionals" make mistakes. No, I'm not advocating that we should never try new things. No, I'm not advocating that we shouldn't take risks.

What I am advocating for is that we learn from our mistakes. Let's not keep making the same mistakes over and over again. When we do make mistakes, let's accept responsibility, own them, catch them quickly, and correct them quickly. I'm advocating for growth, self-improvement, diligence, and ownership.
